United Kicks Off Girl For Wearing LEGGINGS

We know flying has greater security than ever — often for good reason, sometimes for ridiculous and hateful — and it seems inevitable now that a story will come up deeply embarrassing an airline for its transgressions. Wether it's kicking off a Middle Eastern person for unclear reasons or — this story here where a girl was ejected from her flight for wearing LEGGINGS.

Gross, airline. Are you policing what women are wearing now? Just gross. The interaction between airline and leggings wearing girl was witnessed by one Shannon Watts, and then she Tweeted at United, beginning this round of tense interactions which left the company with a black eye.

The girls were apparently part of a special program called "Pass Travelers" and had to represent the company in some way? Although, holy cow, why represent the company when the company itself can barely represent the company! Boy oh boy, this is humiliating for United, who spent the post blow up anxiously trying to explain the situation on Twitter.
